Jefferson and Willis practiced in red jerseys Monday. Dykes said he expects them to be fully cleared Tuesday.

Drew pushing for starting job

Redshirt freshman Damariay Drew worked with the first-team defense at safety Monday in place of Mike Lowe.

Drew replaced Lowe in the second half Saturday and finished with four tackles and a pass break up.

“We thought he was triggering faster and making more plays,” Dykes said of Drew. “All our spots are always up for grabs, and whoever is playing the best is going to be the one that plays the most, and it’s true with those safeties.”

Although Oregon State’s Sean Mannion leads the country in passing yards, Drew is excited to play against a quarterback that lines up under center in a traditional pro-stlye offense.

“I think it’s going to be a better game for us because it’s going to be a lot slower,” Drew said. “We will actually be able to get lined up against a pro-style offense. We won’t be as spread out. …I think it will be easier for our defense to get lined up and do their jobs.”

Extra points

Cal’s game against Washington on Oct. 26 in Seattle will kickoff at 8 p.m., the Pac-12 announced Monday. It will be televised on Fox Sports 1.

Adrian Lee remained the starting cornerback opposite of Kam Jackson

True freshman Caleb Coleman has been moved from receiver to cornerback. Dykes said they are just experimenting for the future.

Dykes, when asked if Zach Kline may receive more first-team reps this week after Goff’s subpar performance against UCLA: “No, it was some pass protection issues, a combination of things. He (Goff) will play better this week.”

Dykes on if Nick Forbes will receive more playing time on defense: “He’s not to that point yet.”
